it s just the youth reality of that inocence that it is lost not the happiness, we can do same thing enjoying with new or old friends, things that can make us feel if not the same at least something like thatm we out with the bike at one abandoned house playing with the ball and climbing the old abandoned housem one of us jumped and got back problems till recently :))
hetzer was the first OP tank i got. I remember i went against it and couldn't pen the front anywhere and researched it and probably had a 75% win rate in it sad to see
Is it actually that the game is better, or is it that we grew up. We went from having no responsibilities in 2014, just getting home from school and getting online and now we have work to go to, taxes to pay, so many places to attend. I think its just memories of a better time, all of its the nostalgia and that we want to go back.
As someone who grew up on regular wot since 2012 (which I'm sure blitz has had some similar greed changes over the years) but the constant pump of premium tanks since 2015, poor balancing changes, and on PC ever since the chieftain has been added to the game it's been essentially unplayable both for pubs and competitive play. Now WG is focused on alternative modes because nobody likes 15v15 cheiftains in comp play so now they've made it 7v7 and removed reward vehicles from ranked, when that didn't work they added a bunch of powerups to ranked and made that 7v7 as well. WG devs didn't know where to take the game so they drove it into the ground and have only cared about monetizing it. Recently got into blitz and while its more bearable without the EBR/arty/chieftains running around, I can see there are still a lot of questionable things that I can find frustrating.
As a person who has over 300k battles with my two acc combined and have played since the game was released it's great seeing the game get better with graphics and getting more tank lines but it's also depressing to me, nothing will be better than the first time I hopped on and played my first 100 battles😢

It was much more P2W back then. Gold was much more expensive and it was very hard to get free premium vehicles.

As a guy with 20000 battles that has been playing since the first day of release. I can sadly confirm that wot blitz fell off really hard and nothing will bring back the good old days. It’s a classic example of game that was slowly but surely ruined by greed
I've been playing since June 2014 when the game was released, I saw the really old training on the Tier 6 where the armored enemy was Ferdinand. Game was much more fun at those times, no toxic players, everyone were respecting each other, funny tanks such as T18, T82, Hetzer with 105 mm, T-46 with OP auto-cannon which was destroying everything, T40. Does someone remember that Alecto had 105 mm cannon too? Game was really fun, especially playing in a platoon with friends. I will never forget those good times...
the old tutorial took me off, as a play who has been playing for more then 9 years now, world of tanks blitz has truely been a jounrey to me, being one of the best things that has ever happened to me in my life. I remeber playing the tutorial with my dad when we were waiting for our car to get repaired and all these memories when i was a kid playing wotb came back making me face back to how wotb is today, a not bad game, but kinda pay top win...
Went from World of Tanks blitz to World of Tanks PC to WarThunder to WarThunder sim battles then finally to DCS. Great journey from 2016 all starting with world of tanks blitz’s and the KV2 was my favourite in that game with 1 shot gun the good old days
Nowdays you can barely find lobbies as a new player in a squadron (2 players) in lower tiers, its harder to get friends new to the game to enjoy it as much we did.
The more you grind and get better at the game with better tanks the more better people with tanks your level you see and face, and camo doesn't change anything and nore the community, the WoT community is very friendly and cool unlike War thunder sometimes, so appreciate the hard work out in game
Since I didn’t start playing until 2022, so for me the game goes from a fun grind through the first V-VI ranks to a brutal one just to get a few hundred thousand silver to get a new tank that doesn’t work without a lot of upgrades and experience
wotb back in the day was so nice whitout Covid-19 (started playing 2019) we would always play it and when i got the M7 DAMN it was fun ramming others tank! i still have that tank and still have the good memory from it! Miss you old wotb!
Eu lembro quando eu nao conhecia os mapas, eles pareciam set enormes e complexos assim como a variades de tanques. Hoje em dia eu conheço tudo e meu maior desejo e voltar ao começo
i miss the old training field and my old friends including my world best friend i ever met in that game in 2017 since i lost my oldest and first account i ever made in that game...
i remember playing wot blitz as a child on my ipad and being surprisingly good at it, and i kept spamming affirmative and negative not knowing what they meant. i also had no idea how powerful each tank was, and only played as the ones that looked the coolest to me, wish i could find that ipad again..
I still remember. I first started playing on 10.01.2015. It has been over 8 years and I wish I could have the old times back. Doesn't feel the same anymore for a long time :(
I Remember playing this in 2017- 2020 the good ol days before i lost my account now i replayed the game with a new and it doesnt feel the same anymore.....
It wasn't that horrible tho. In the contrary 2020-2022 was the years i played wotb the most. Cuz school was closed cuz of covid. Super memorable time, best time of wotb
I stopped playing. Was pretty good, 70+% @ 50.000 battles on my 2nd account w/o platoons, Super Unicum WN8 on most tanks including tier 10s, had the highest WN8 on the IS-3 Defender for a time and plenty of „highest damage ever“ games on the French lights when they were introduced, I was an AMX 13 75 FIEND, mind you on that 2nd account the lowest tier I‘d frequent was tier 6, so no seal clubbing. I was not in a good place mentally and problematically addicted to the game. However, I loved it. When my dad passed away on that fateful day in 2017 I returned to our home from the hospital, World of Tanks Blitz still running on my monitor (I was playing when I received the call). It felt awful, that experience tainted the game I loved so much. Dwelled on how I wasted so much time playing it instead of spending time with Pa. FF a year and a half and I decided to open up a fresh account with my dad‘s gamertag, an account I pledged to spend no money on (the aforementioned 2nd account). Went well, even got to tier 10 without spending a dime, but I buckled in and spent some money on it anyway, mainly on a premium account, garage slots, the game passes once they were a thing and the occasional premium tank if it was good value for money. But gaming in general was holding me back from improving my mental health, I was too vulnerable to escapism. So I stopped for good in 2020 and have been playing chess instead, ever since. Logging out of the account holding my dad‘s gamertag one last time I felt relieved, like I could say goodbye properly and on my own terms this time. I remembered all the times he told me I was spending too much time on the game and that he wants me to experience life instead. Because he saw me suffer and wanted me to have a better life. Quitting improved my life significantly, both socially and financially. Yet I always look back at this silly little tank game with bittersweet memories. My first tier 6 (the Easy 8), my first tier 10 (the IS 7). Friendships, tournaments, grinds, moments of rage and of triumph. Spent Friday evenings home alone playing. Experiences not had due to the addiction. The way it worried my dad. Bittersweet memories. I have grown up now and am no longer the angsty weird teen I was back then. I have a good, stable job. I am going to university on the side and rent my own apartment. I have great friends and fulfilling hobbies. And now I finally understand what he meant. Sorry for the sob story
The Hetzer was the first tank I “grinded” for back when it first came out. Honestly it made me personally enjoy the lore of tanks. Still remember when mu family went to a Military Museum of sorts with aircrafts and tanks…. Seeing the Hetzer in real life in front of me was a moment
The game is almost the exact same. And for me it feels the same. Though the community has changed over the years and I can see why it feels different for some.

:( i feel like whatever I type can't express my sadness as in i miss the old days. It got so sad i switched to War Thunder. Part of me still wants to play Blitz, but only if it were from the 2017-2019/pre 5.5 era
People complain that old blitz was better but god some dont know blitz is still far better than wot pc and I hope always will be. I switched from pc to blitz and now I cam play the game I love. ❤
To be honest, world of tanks blitz is quite depressing nowadays, I can't do a single match without running into half an enemy team full of premiums like bro, I'm playing a tier v. Why in the hell am I going up against tier 6 premiums that have more armor than half the tanks in tier 7??? Give or take. I've been playing this game since 2018 and I've been off and on it since then and just recently got back to it
Wot blitz doesn't feel the same as when I first started back in 2016

Quitting improved my life significantly, both socially and financially.
Yet I always look back at this silly little tank game with bittersweet memories. My first tier 6 (the Easy 8), my first tier 10 (the IS 7). Friendships, tournaments, grinds, moments of rage and of triumph. Spent Friday evenings home alone playing. Experiences not had due to the addiction. The way it worried my dad. Bittersweet memories.
I have grown up now and am no longer the angsty weird teen I was back then. I have a good, stable job. I am going to university on the side and rent my own apartment. I have great friends and fulfilling hobbies. And now I finally understand what he meant.
Sorry for the sob story
I Miss, I Miss Them All, I Miss OLD Blitz
I started at the end of 2018, I've been playing for 5 years and I haven't been able to have fun since mid-2021 on this game
the main whole game’s fun was T82 T18 and other derp tanks❤
The Hetzer was the first tank I “grinded” for back when it first came out.
Honestly it made me personally enjoy the lore of tanks. Still remember when mu family went to a Military Museum of sorts with aircrafts and tanks….
Seeing the Hetzer in real life in front of me was a moment
I miss the old tutorial😢
The game is almost the exact same. And for me it feels the same. Though the community has changed over the years and I can see why it feels different for some.
Помню как первый раз зашол в блиц год 2017 когда кочал даже мелкий уровень мне приносило кайф, сейчас этого нет😢
As I’ve played wotb in 2020 and still playing in 2023 I know what this means
Honestly I like old and new World od Tanks Blitz.
But the only thing I hate there is WOTB'S OWN OP TANKS
Есть плюсы в новой версии минимум леста даёт куча подарков + много новой техники правда что баланс тогда был таким такой и остался
It is that people take games too seriously and don't let you enjoy the game
T18 with derpy gun 🥲 and alecto, hetzer, T40 all the low level derp guns are gone
Anyone remember the mk1 from 2016? Peak wot blitz
Although my account was registered in 2021, I have been playing word blitz since 2019
Ça manque le bon vieux temps sur ce jeux
Moi aussi...😔
В 2014-2017 никто не играл ради прокачки статы, а ради удовольствия😔😔
И сейчас не все играют ради статы
I love 2020 WoT blitz
OP tank fantasy over and over again nowadays, it's so unplayable
Мы всегда не забудем это предложение,сначала были танки первогол левела а потом их заменили на более мощьные танки😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Кто с какого года начинал играть в легенду 😢😢😢 я с 2017
Remmber when t18 was soo op at tier 2💔💔 and m3 lee and hetzier was the most op tank at tier 4
:( i feel like whatever I type can't express my sadness as in i miss the old days. It got so sad i switched to War Thunder. Part of me still wants to play Blitz, but only if it were from the 2017-2019/pre 5.5 era
Тот кто играл с старого обучения пошла слеза эх были временя😢
aynen adamım
Nie jestem wrażliwcem ale czytam komętarze od 40 minut a na podłodze lerzy 4 mokre od łez chusteczki
The old training tutorial is nostalgic when i joined on 2017😢
I miss the old days and the OG homies , rest easy fam
People complain that old blitz was better but god some dont know blitz is still far better than wot pc and I hope always will be. I switched from pc to blitz and now I cam play the game I love. ❤
I remember playing on my dads account when i was 6 in 2015, the good ol days.
Yo empecé a jugar cuando salió el juego y tenía como 10 años 🥺
I wanna play the old game😢
But I think it got deleted 😢
I can only play wotblitz😢
To be honest, world of tanks blitz is quite depressing nowadays, I can't do a single match without running into half an enemy team full of premiums like bro, I'm playing a tier v. Why in the hell am I going up against tier 6 premiums that have more armor than half the tanks in tier 7???
Give or take. I've been playing this game since 2018 and I've been off and on it since then and just recently got back to it
